A Methodology for Assessing the Favourability of Geopressured-Geothermal Systems in Sedimentary Basin Plays: A Case Study in Abruzzo (Italy)

<div>Three main databases (a, b, c) used for the reconstruction of the new map of the base of Pliocene deposits (d) in the outer sector of the Abruzzo region. (a) In-well BP depth as reported in the wells drilled for petroleum exploration [<a href="/journals/geofluids/2019/4503943/#B73">73</a>, <a href="/journals/geofluids/2019/4503943/#B74">74</a>]; the trace of the seismic line M13–14 CROP is reported in brown from [<a href="/journals/geofluids/2019/4503943/#B78">78</a>]. (b) Isobaths of the BP with main tectonic structures. (c) Map of the isobaths of the BP redrawn from [<a href="/journals/geofluids/2019/4503943/#B77">77</a>]. (d) New map of the BP deposits as reconstructed for the study area. The tectonic structures and the colour-scale legend of isobaths are the same as in (b). The dotted black box includes the sector investigated for the favourability assessment.</div>
